Using a tampon without an applicator can take a little practice, if your tween is having problems explain the following to her:
- Instruct her to wash her hands first.
- Remove the wrapper as instructed.
- Gently pull the cord away from the base of the tampon.
- Using your fingers, guide the tampon into place, aiming it towards your lower back.
- You will know the tampon is correctly inserted when you can no longer feel it.
- Then, wash your hands again.
- To take the tampon out, relax and gently pull on the cord.
- Wrap the tampon in tissue and place in a bin.
